‘POTTER’ STAR GUILTY OF SINGING TO KIDS



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Richard Harris may be a wizard to Harry Potter, but he was a cruel, cruel parent. In fact, he used to punish his kids by singing his cheesy 1968 hit “MacArthur Park.” That’s according to Harris’ son, actor Jared Harris, who says the elder Harris punished his kids by singing the tune which was voted the worst song of all-time in a nationwide poll sponsored by Dave Barry. Jared says the singing was an effective form of discipline and hearing his father bellow out lines like Someone left a cake out in the rain was “excellent motivation to make sure I never left my bed unmade again.”
